Hi all! I have a bizarre fear of buying meat at a butcher's. I'm afraid that I will get the wrong meat, or the cut of meat that I want won't be available, and I would've travelled for nothing.

When I was in high school, it was a given for me that my skin would start itching like crazy when winter hit. It was a disaster, to the point that I’d have scratch marks by September.

I cannot go outside my home with a 2-in-1 blanket wrapped around my waist, striped fuzzy socks, a sweater and a beanie! So how do you look cute… Continue reading Part 2: Looking Cute in Layers
